Wow very interesting. Heres mine East 1. Detroit(obvious) 2. Heat(Shaq in the East+ Wade and they have pretty good depth now) 3. Sixers(new coach, good young talent, will go far if Injurys don't plauge them. 4. Pacers( again an obvious) 5.. Knicks(A lot of good moves such as Jamal Crawford and will probably get someone else, will give the Sixers a good fight for the division leader.) 6.Bucks (Mike Redd will get better and is a very underrated player.) 7. Nets(as long as they have Jason Kidd they're fine, but if he leaves its lottery time.) 8.Celtics/Cavs- hard to see but I am in favor of the Cavs. Celtics with the addition of Payton(if he plays) will do very well and a trio of Blount, Pierce, and Payton is might fierce. How ever I belikeve LeBrons development and the accuireation of Snow and Gooden(which makes up for Boozer) willl be fine. West 1.Spurs(aqqusation of Barry will perfect them and their my choice to win it all) 2. T-Wolves(kept their team in tack and it was already good) 3. Kings(Vlades leave hurt them because Peja cant get his open looks) 4. Nuggets(K-Mart and they have the best front court in the league.) 5.

Jazz(Boozer,Okur,and Matt Hapring relived of Injury should serve them nicely and Carlos Arroya will probably have a break out year.) 8.Mavericks(Nowitzki is underrated and will carry his team to an 8th seed.)

I said the Suns have a shot like everybody else. The Heat are a good team I just said they were not as good as the Suns. A third seed in the East is also not saying much. It is like a 6-8 seed in the West. Please quit trying to blast me when your information is totally false. Get your facts straight.

2004-05 play offs This is my list: Eastern Conference: 1. Detroit Pistons 2. Miami Heat 3. Indiana Pacers 4. Milwaukee Bucks 5. New York Knicks 6. New Jersey Nets 7. Orlando Magic 8.

How about this? East: 1. Indiana 2. Detroit 3. Miami 4. New York 5. Chicago 6. Cleveland 7. Milwaukee 8. Philly West: 1. San Antonio 2. Minnesota 3. Houston 4. Sacramento 5. Memphis 6. Denver 7. Lakers 8.Dallas I think this is what it's going to be. I had a tough time between san antonio and minnesota (we're talking about season standing, not who will win it. San Antonio will win easily). It's all about the health issue between san antonio and minny. I also think Lakers can suprise some people. Odom is the second most versatile player in the league next to garnett and kobe is no joke despit what u kobe hater might say. Houston is too good to be doubted, even though many of u guys do, and actually rank utah higher than houston. Boozer and Kirilenko vs. yao and t-mac, u decide. I'm going to say this, San Antonio should win it even though i hate them, Lakers can potentially do big damage or no damage (my bet is on big damage), and Houston is underrated right now to my suprise.
I agree with Pure Skills, I think yall are underestimating Memphis. I believe Memphis is going to be great this year and may make it to the 2nd or even 3rd round of the Playoffs.
A lot of you guys are forgeting that the top 3 teams in each conference have to come from 3 different divisions. Detroit and Indiana are in the same divison. I know it is hard but you have to have someone from the Atlandtic in the top 3

I think the Lakers can be the #3 seed. They only have to beat out Sac-Town for the Pacific Crown. That shouldn't be too hard for Kobe and Co.
